Clarification on the rules In my area...

[atb9454]

So, I live in an area where the local rule says that backyard chicken coops have to be at least 10 feet from an existing structure. It sounds like this is referring to a house, but the best area for a coop in our yard is under 10 feet from a shed... Is this okay?

I would call and check. It's easier to do that than to move the coop later.

I agree - call and ask and be legal.

Yes, check for sure in your area.

Here, it is 5ft. from a fence..like a fence that we share. Different in all states.

Welcome to BYC!

It's nice to have you join us. I agree with the other posters...always best to know the rules ahead of time, makes life easier for everyone (including the birds).

Okay, I will do that! Definitely don't want to have to break any rules... Thank you!
